I've seen the rise and the fall
The bitterness in all
The empty hearts that stopped before they left their mark
In this town your worst friends
Can be your best enemies
Share the same last wish, last names
It's all lies to keep you in line
[Chorus]
So hang on, be strong
Long live the kids in us all
Pride may fail us
But god, we will die tryin'
Hang on, be strong
Long live the kids in us all
Fate may cheat us
But god, we will die tryin'
I've been the hope and the doubt
The fear of breaking down these insecurities until there's nothing left (until there's nothing left)
I wanna scream, I wanna live
I don't care who's listening
I won't wait my turn to be the ignorant
It's all lies to keep you in line
[Chorus]
You can't tell us no
[Bridge] x2
You can't tell us no
No, no, oh
You can't tell us no, no, no, no, no
So hang on, be strong
Long live the kids in us all
Pride may fail us
But god, we will die tryin'
[Chorus]
[Bridge] x4
